Heather Levi's ethnography of Mexican wrestling, The World of Lucha Libre, is reviewed in The Stranger. Paul Constant writes, "Levi lays the entire world of lucha libre
at the reader's feet, from the adulation of the crowd to the metallic
smell of blood in the ring, and the act of creativity, installing the
personal narrative, is the reader's job. This is excellent reportage on
an endlessly fascinating subject, and Levi should be commended for
standing back and letting the luchadores take center stage."
